This week’s SPF from RandomandOdd is: (SELF or SOMEONE) YOU IN MUSIC

Last year our youngest child turned 16. Daddy was very emotional. During her party (in the barn~ok I miss it) Tim McGraw’s My Little Girl came on and they danced. There wasn’t a dry eye in house and I am surprised I managed to get this picture (this was before the arrival of my cool, new camera thus poor quality).

Gotta hold on easy as I let you go.
Gonna tell you how much I love you, though you think you already know.
I remember I thought you looked like an angel wrapped in pink so soft and warm.
You’ve had me wrapped around your finger since the day you were born.
Your beautiful baby from the outside in.
Chase your dreams but always know the road that’ll lead you home again.
Go on, take on this whole world.
But to me you know you’ll always be, my little girl.
When you were in trouble that crooked little smile could melt my heart of stone.
Now look at you, I’ve turned around and you’ve almost grown.
Sometimes you’re asleep I whisper “I Love You!” in the moonlight at your door.
As I walk away, I hear you say, “Daddy Love You More!”.
Someday, some boy will come and ask me for your hand.
But I won’t say “yes” to him unless I know, he’s the half that makes you whole, he has a poet’s soul, and the heart of a man’s man.
I know he’ll say that he’s in love.
But between you and me. He won’t be good enough!

~Tim McGraw
